Abstract

This experimental study is intended to identify the mix ratios for M20 grade of polymer Concrete. Compressive strength of polymer concrete and parameters that affect it are analyzed and proved experimentally. From the test results it was clear that polymer concrete possesses good compressive strength and offers good durability characteristics. Polymer concrete can be use deficiently in concrete industry especially in precast members. Based on an extensive experimental investigation it has been reported that in the polymer (Polyester resin) concrete gives greatly improved compressive strength and other properties, whole compare with ordinary cement concrete. It is also observed that by adding 9 to 14% of polyester resins, it is possible to obtain maximum efficiency. The quantity of polyester resins considered in this study is 10%, 11%, 12% and 13%.
